Ruins

There are many places of interest in the territory, such as qishansuo, Denglai Qingbing Beidao Department yamen, multinational consulates and so on. Among them, the most famous one is the Tianhou palace, a national key cultural relic protection unit. Tianhou palace. It was first built in 1884 as a thatched cottage to worship empress dowager (Mazu). Later, with the donation of Fujian shipping merchants, the theater, Mountain Gate, main hall and back palace were built year by year. In 1906, the three entrance courtyard was formed. Because the sea of Yantai is in the north, the palace sits in the South and North, covering an area of 3500 square meters and a building area of 1495 square meters. The blueprint of the palace was carefully designed by Fujian craftsmen. The building components were carefully carved by local craftsmen in Quanzhou, and then transported to Yantai by merchant ships and assembled according to the blueprint. The palace is a classical temple building with Minnan style in northern China. It inherits the architectural art of Ming and Qing Dynasties, with elegant structure, well-balanced layout, proper connection and gorgeous carving. It can be called a treasure of Chinese architectural art. When you enter from the north gate, the first thing you see is the stage. The stage is 7.2 meters wide and 1.3 meters high. The roof adopts bucket structure with double eaves. The whole roof is only supported by four columns, simple and exquisite. This stage was originally prefabricated by Fujian craftsmen in Quanzhou. Unfortunately, the sailboat, which sent the components, suffered the storm and sank into the sea. As a last resort, it was built in Yantai with local materials. The resonance effect of the stage is very good, and the actors feel deeply about it, and all admire its superb architectural skills. On the two stone pillars in front of the stage, there are 48 characters of couplets. The first couplet is: from the 800 mile air route, the real Zou Lu seaside music world can be heard; the second couplet is: to awaken the national spirit of the 20th century, to read the history, and to wait until you and Meng are on the same stage. This couplet was formed in the early 20th century. It was a time of great calamity. Although it has been a hundred years, we can still feel its rich cultural connotation and strong sense of hardship. The mountain gate is the second gate of the palace. It is five rooms wide (18.3 meters) and two rooms deep (7.37 meters). It is 8.94 meters high and magnificent. It is a masterpiece of architectural art, sculpture art and painting art. The building of the gate is a single-layer suspended hill and a frame type wood stone structure. From the overall structure point of view, the gate is seven purlin floor three column structure. Among them, the wood and stone carvings are excellent in material selection, exquisite in carving, and superb in floating, penetrating and round carving. After careful counting, there are 474 figures, 404 birds and animals such as dragons, phoenixes and unicorns, 297 flowers and countless decorative patterns on the mountain gate. There are no wood carving, no stone chiseling. It can be called an art exhibition of wood and stone carving. Its carving themes are mostly historical stories, myths and legends, celebrity anecdotes, folk customs, etc., as well as reflecting Sino foreign relations, maritime traffic and other contents, with profound connotation and colorful, just like a thick Historical Encyclopedia. Above the middle door, there are four gold-plated plaques of "Tian Hou Xing Gong", which are shining. Standing under the eaves of the mountain gate, I suddenly feel "fairyland is ethereal" and "Jing Ning Da Luo" (the two words are the gilded horizontal couplets on the ear gate of the Mountain Gate). The Mountain Gate of Tianhou palace is composed of two magic stone pillars. They are the top beams and pillars supporting the roof of the mountain gate. They are also rare masterpieces with various carving techniques, such as floating, penetrating and round carving. The dragon on the stone pillar has its tail on the top and its head on the bottom. The two pillars of the dragon's head are opposite each other and extend forward. The dragon's claws tread the waves and seem to want to take off. The stone column is 3.1 meters high and 0.5 meters in diameter. With dragon body and dragon head, the diameter is 0.9 meters. The upper end of the stone column is connected with the wooden column, and the wood and stone are combined into one. On the base of the blue stone column at the lower end are carved 16 aquatic animals, such as fish, turtle, shrimp and crab, which are lifelike. the main hall of Tianhou palace is the place where the goddess of heaven is worshipped. It is the main building of the ancient building complex of Tianhou palace, with a width of 18.14 meters for five rooms and a depth of 18.17 meters for six rooms, covering an area of 383.17 square meters. The building method of the hall is double sleeve plane column network layout, with 22 eaves columns in the lower layer. Surrounded by an ambulatory, 14 old eaves columns go straight to the upper layer, forming a rigid sleeve with the gable and the front and rear eaves through the Fang. The four gold columns in the hall are overlapped by the Fang, forming a "well" shaped frame. The inner and outer three-layer column network layout has high stability. The main hall of the beam layout, the use of wear bucket structure. Seven purlin platform beams are overlapped between the exposed gold columns, and the secondary beam frame is a 13 purlin floor five column through bucket structure. The columns directly bear the purlin, and brick walls are built longitudinally between the columns, which are connected to the top, and multi-layer through beams are set horizontally, and partition doors are set under the beams. Historical stories or flower patterns are carved on the partition doors and the beams of the front and rear eaves. The main hall is supported by 40 columns with double eaves. Except for eight eaves columns chiseled with bluestone, the rest are wooden columns. The four 1.6-meter-long gold pillars in the hall are made of spotless nanmu. They are the most precious of the pillars. There are many forms of the base at the lower end of the 40 columns. In addition to the column base, there are also the white jade flower pot shape, the white jade drum shape and the blue stone big flower pot shape. The main hall, like the mountain gate, pays attention to meticulous carving. After counting, 372 figures, 198 birds and beasts and 221 flower patterns are carved on the main hall's beams, pillars, child pillars, brackets, cloud piers, diagonal braces, ridges and partition doors. In the warm Pavilion in the middle of the main hall, there is a dignified and beautiful girl (wax figure), who is the goddess of heaven from the people. Notre Dame was born more than 1000 years ago, a beautiful girl named Linmo. Although her life is short, her noble character of diligence, bravery, wisdom and good deeds has won people's admiration or the God of protecting people. Around the Madonna, there are many precious cultural relics, among which the most precious one is the tin guard of honor, which was donated and made by Fujian merchants 100 years ago. Most of these guards have been destroyed. Now there are only 18 pieces, such as dragon head guard, pan tou stick, crescent shovel, Chaotian lamp, golden melon, Tomahawk, painting halberd, left scratch seal, right scratch pen, Shuo, etc. in the hall. Each piece is unique in design, well-made and well preserved Inlaid with colorful emerald beads, it is highly ornamental and a rare art treasure. the back hall of Tianhou palace, originally a living area, was demolished when South Street was expanded in 1958. In 1996, Tianhou palace in Yantai was announced as a national cultural relic protection unit by the State Council, and now it has attracted many Chinese and foreign tourists.
